Import orders with the Chrome extension
Updated View as Markdown
The BuyingGroupPro Chrome extension imports orders from your retailer order pages into BuyingGroupPro. It runs in your own browser, where you are already signed in to the retailer, so BuyingGroupPro never needs your retailer password.
Supported retailers
Amazon, Amazon Business, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Costco and Sam's Club.
From an order page the extension reads the order number, date, items, quantity, cost, status and tracking numbers. On Amazon it can also read the payment card, the cashback rate, the ship-to address and the last day to return the item, which the email does not always include.
Install and connect
- Install the BuyingGroupPro extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- In BuyingGroupPro, open the Extension page and copy your API key.
- Paste the key into the extension. The extension now sends orders to your account.
Import orders by hand
Open the retailer's order history page and start an import from the extension. You can do this on every plan, as often as you like.
Auto-Sync
Auto-Sync imports new orders on a schedule, with no clicks. It works for Amazon (including Amazon Business), Best Buy and Walmart while Chrome is open and you are signed in to the retailer.
| Free | Pro | Concierge | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual import | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Auto-Sync | No | Every 24 hours | Every hour |
You can choose a slower schedule: every 1, 6, 12, 24 or 72 hours.
Where the orders go
Imported orders go to the review queue at Alerts › Imports. An order that is already on your dashboard, or that you ignored before, is skipped. Turn on Skip review queue in Settings › Automation & alerts to import new orders straight to the dashboard.
When the extension finds a tracking number or a new status for an order you already have, it updates that order. If the ship-to address matches one of your buying groups, the order is linked to that group. See auto-link orders to buying groups.
Return-window alerts
For Amazon orders imported with the extension, BuyingGroupPro knows the last day to return the item. Three days before that day, it alerts you about each unpaid order, once. Paid, cancelled and returned orders are skipped. This alert is on every plan, Free included.
